Hello,
Is on a lead the only option? He's 13 and getting progressively deafer.
He was really sick between Nov and Jan, when he had to have a transfusion. His recovery since has been staggering! (Behindlock, if you are reading, he is going from strength to strength ).
My problem now is his zest for life means he is too far ahead of me, and won't hear me unless I yell and sound like a crazy woman
I really don't want to curtail his joy but is there any other option but keep him on the lead? He's never needed one before but our walks have turned rather fraught! I stupidly feel that he would feel like I'm punishing him
Are there any other solutions for recalling partially deaf dogs? He can't have treats as he's very intolerant to most foods and medications (hence transfusion).
Poor boy, I feel like I'm really going to piss on his parade :(
